I want a brand, an image people will recognize around the city.I looked into marketing research to determine the best colors for this custom-made sign, but I wanted to tap the BP community for their opinions.From brandingstrategyinsider.com, I found some interesting research on colors and the emotions and qualities associated with them:Red –excitement, strength, sex, passion, speed, danger.Blue –(listed as the most popular color) trust, reliability, belonging, coolness.Yellow –warmth, sunshine, cheer, happinessOrange — playfulness, warmth, vibrantGreen — nature, fresh, cool, growth, abundancePurple –royal, spirituality, dignityPink — soft, sweet, nurture, securityWhite –pure, virginal, clean, youthful, mild.Black –sophistication, elegant, seductive, mysteryGold — prestige, expensiveSilver — prestige, cold, scientificI would like to use black and yellow, but not sure if anyone had experience in this area.Has anyone intentionally picked certain sign colors to receive more phone calls?

I think from a purely investment point of view its somewhat counterintuitive but true to think that a well managed portfolio of lower class rentals will outperform the higher end rentals over time.I think the thinking that just because someone is poor means they will destroy property is not entirely true.

A pure no pet policy IMO is rather pointless.

Since then, I have bought two more homes, one being my primary residence and one a pure rental I've never lived in.

I am looking for a purely investment duplex in the $100k and below range.

Supply and replace all light bulbs, fluorescent tubes, and batteries for smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, garage door openers, ceiling fan remotes, and other devices (of the same type and quality that are in the Property on the Commencement Date);E.

Pure, fu****g NONSENSE! 

Ever since then, he won't let me come and do needed maintenance or repairs (e.g. changing smoke alarm batteries) unless he or his wife are home.

Unfortunately, processing power = battery drain.

I suppose it's possible that a few pure cosmetics will give you enough value add that you can refinance, but my experience is that you are taking a house that's not really habitable, making it habitable, getting a renter, and then refinancing it, proving that it has market value by virtue of looking decent and having renters.
